I can't believe my boy's 10 weeks old already! I still remember when I was counting DOWN from the 10 week mark to his E.D.D. Now it's 10 weeks and I'm counting UP!
As each day goes by, his Daddy and I can both agree that we love this little monster more and more. And although there have been surprise obstacles and curve balls thrown at us since he was born (nothing related to him though, thank goodness!), having such a good and healthy boy has made it all worth it!
This boy is starting to become cuter and cuter. When he sees me, he gives me the BIGGEST smile ever, a smile so big his eyes are so small and crinkled up that it's shaped like a crescent moon (cutest thing in the world!). He has also started talking to me and responding to the questions I ask him. I think his favorite response as of now is "yaahhh". I can't wait till he's a few weeks older and can laugh. We're going to have so much fun together!
This is also around the time where he's been sleeping through the night, even though I'm still experimenting with his schedule to turn this into a consistent habit. I've scanned through (the controversial) Babywise and decided to forgo it. The only thing I'm taking from it is sticking to a strict eating schedule. So far, with my semi laxed way of scheduling, the boy's been doing great so I really can't complain!
We were also able to celebrate his Red Egg & Ginger as well. Being very un-Chinese, I had no idea what this really was till I googled it. Back in the day, babies in China rarely survived to month one due to malnutrition, so when they did, a party was held for them. The egg and ginger symbolizes something too, but I can't remember it off the top of my head.
Week 10 and going... I'm looking forward to the surprises in store as the cute little dude becomes more active and aware of his surroundings.
As everyone knows, Luke looks nothing like his Mommy. He is the exact replica of his Daddy, except a much cuter version (sorry, Daddy!). When he was first born, I was hoping he'll eventually develop double eyelids like his Mommy. Now that he's almost two months old, that dream of double eyelids has disappeared. When Luke was a couple weeks old, it looked like he had Mommy's nose. Now when I compare our noses, I'm disappointed to say that he doesn't have my nose either. Okay, so on the outside he looks just like his Daddy. However, if you actually have a chance to play with him and observe his behavior, he's ALL MOMMY! i.e. - You have to meet him to see that he lets out a huge smile after a huge poopie while being fed (all Mommy!). He loves to smile (all Mommy!) and he also has attitude (all Mommy!). So in short, he may look just like Daddy, but his personality says all Mommy! Oh boy, that just means trouble in the future...
